The benefits of custom pieces in projects are outweigh any negativity. Having feature pieces that perfectly match the project interior or exterior design can be the hero of any project. The common concerns are around design, with project designers feeling they need to understand technical lighting elements to design a luminaire. There is a common misconception that Custom Lighting is expensive and not functional and needing additional lighting. With Bluelab we provide functional, budgeted, beautiful Custom Lighting - bringing to life designers ideas.

Custom Lighting offers a big statement within interior or exterior spaces that tie perfectly with the surrounding elements.

Putting pen to paper can be daunting, with many designers not knowing where to start and may be put off by the technical elements involved with lighting let-alone compliance.

With all Custom pieces, the first step is to have the right collaboration. With decades of custom lighting manufacturing and luminaire design within our staff, we are able to provide technical, design and illuminance support. At Bluelab Design we love challenges. With a company moto :

Bluelab Design work in collaboration with designers to bring their concept Custom light to reality.

How does it work?

If you have a design for a custom piece, send it over with the indicative sizes, finishes and/or materials preferred, preferred lighting outcome and budget. If you are not sure of any of the above details, it's okay, send what you have. If you only have a rough drawing, this is fine, some of the best designs have come from the back of a napkin.

Bluelab Design will get back to you with a render within 48 hours.
